An important aspect of my research is an accounting of the historical context of the tomb’s construction and how political and military events translated into specific imagery within the tomb. Built in phases, the tomb reflected a Mediterranean world in transition, and an ideology about the afterlife equally in flux. The narrative cycle of Orcus II reveals a discernable interest in rebirth, resurgence, and an anticipation of a personal spiritual renewal mirrored by a cultural and political renewal of the Etruscan power base at Tarquinia.

Taken in its entirety, the Tomb of Orcus transported its occupants directly into the underworld of Homer’s epics and placed the deceased among the great Greek heroes of art and song. The tomb represents centuries of cultural diffusion from Greek traders and the settlers of Magna Graecia repeatedly sharing their stories, beliefs, and material goods with the powerful Etruscan settlements of central Italy.
